The Micoadventure: Epic Adventures Without the Epic Hassle
42. Learn About Our Waters
The beautiful waters of the Puget Sound are home to a diverse array of sea life and are home to many fascinating creatures. But usually, we don't get to spend much time with them—after all, we don't breathe water!
That's where the MaST Center comes in. As a working aquarium, marine biology students from Highline College are able to get hands on learning while teaching the public about marine life! Every Saturday, their open house allows you to get up close and personal with sea life.
MaST Center Aquarium
